Meshuggah: Alive at Heavy Metal Film Festival

The first ever Heavy Metal Film Festival, which runs from March 31st – April 3rd at the Downtown Independent Cinema, will feature Meshuggah: Alive Concert Film.

From heavymetalff.com:Shot by director/producer Ian McFarland of Killswitch Productions during MESHUGGAH’s 2009 North American tour and at their 2008 performance at the Loudpark Festival in Tokyo, Japan, ALIVE contains concert footage of selections from the band’s Billboard Top 200-charting 2008 release, obZen, in addition to their time-tested career staples. Gracefully interlacing the live tracks are behind-the-scenes vignettes shot in black & white that give ALIVE a concert film feel so unlike many of the live DVDs currently on the market. The result is a visceral, visual abduction into the band’s metric insanity-in-action.
